05:13 *[1]* Paul Whiteman - *Top Hat Medley* - 5:21 _No Strings_ - 6:35 _Isn't This a Lovely Day_ - 7:48 _Top Hat_ - 9:35 _Cheek to Cheek_ - 11:40 _The Piccolino_ 14:11 *[2]* Phil Ohman - *No Strings* 17:17 *[3]* Guy Lombardo - *Isn't This a Lovely Day* 20:32 *[4]* Ray Noble - *Top Hat* 23:59 *[5]* Donald Peers - *Cheek to Cheek* 26:55 *[6]* Ambrose - *The Piccolino* Words & music by Irving Berlin *[4]* is one of my desert island discs and my favorite recording of this song, apart from Mr. Austerlitz's, of course. 22:30 "Look out, fellas, here comes!" 22:33 (posh as *posh* can) *"I'm stepping out, my dear, into an atmosphere that positively reeks with class."* Well, I'd say _My word!"_ *"And I trust that you'll excuse my dust, when I step on the gaahs."* "Stout fella!" BRILLIANT! What an atmosphere.

@@henridelagardere264 I love that part of the song. This is by far my favorite Top Hat version.

The music in this era is so romantic and beautiful, must have cheered people in those dark days! Stay well!

[@pax41]

We are trying and you too Ed. In regards to the music and movies, I can see why the 30's ended up having so many of these films. People needed a pick me up just like today.

Fred and Ginger could certainly make it look easy! A very enjoyable presentation.

[@pax41]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Got my computer back from an update/ upgrade and now I can enjoy about a year's worth of Pax41 listening! This is a delightful set, sounds as smooth as a polished bakelite dance floor. I really admire your tasteful handling and amazing variety of period visuals to go with these--well done, sir!

[@pax41]

Thank you Kirk and great to hear from you again. Where did you move to after DC?

[@kirksjunque]

This is amazing! You need to do cd collection because I don’t want these beautiful things to vanish!

I am working on a series of selections from various movie musicals, this was the first. I have made custom cd's in the past for viewers. Maybe I should list it on my ebay store which is under the same name. Glad you like it and thank you for watching the channel. 😊

[@Mr.SLovesTheSacredHeartofJesus]

I have to tell you friend. I absolutely love your music. It's been helping me get through being all alone at home now. I have to ask question though, do you own all of these recordings? I mean, are these records that you're recording off of? Because you must have one heck of a big collection. I would love to see if you would put a playlist together of all of Guy Lombardo's 1930s and 40s recordings. He's one of my favorites, as well as Jack Payne. Keep up the good work. And keep them coming!

[@pax41]

Mr S there are two collections used for this channel. A very good friend of mine has an extensive collection that he shares with me. I do the restorations from the original 78's in both my collection and his. Your request would be an example of how our collaboration works well, since Fred is a big fan of Guy Lombardo. I prefer Lombardo's hot sides, so I haven't collected many of his records. However, Fred may very well have all of them. We both collect Jack Payne 78's and I have imported the majority of my British records. A large portion of the donations that come in go to purchasing records for the channel. I only use my transfers to avoid copyright claims by others who do reissues. Also, to my knowledge we don't have many Lombardo recordings past 1940. Thank you for watching the channel.

[@rockeryhudpeck3390]

I love the Piccolino. It was elaborately danced in the movie. Flying Down to Rio has an equally elaborate dance number called The Carioca.

[@pax41]

The Carioca is posted on the channel just fyi. Glad you enjoyed the video.
